Hello,
First let me compliment you to this brilliant idea to backporting lambda expressions by class hacking :-)
However, one of the things which retrolambda IMHO really misses is a good major build tool integration, be it ant or maven. I know that there's a gradle plugin, but a lot of projects (including those which I am working with) are stuck with using the former.
Ant Integration isn't really a problem since its always just hackwork, but the solution to integrate ant into maven is ugly. The current solution as in end-to-end-tests is too verbose for larger projects and needs to be replicated for every single module as the reuse of a parent pom is not really possible when already using a multipurpose plugin such as antrun.
I know that it isn't possible to include retrolambda directly in the compile step, but it would be really helpful if there was at least one sophisticated maven target which runs at the process-classes step.
